Emotional detachment from feedback makes a good coach!

This coaching tip from Lianne Lyne, PLP Coaching, LLC for Forbes, requires an emotional response to coaching. Asking for feedback can trigger our inner critic and prompt emotionally charged responses. This can deny us the opportunity to develop as a leader and break the bond of trust between us and our employees. Involved detachment — being fully engaged emotionally while remaining completely non-judgmental and objective — is the most powerful coaching skill any leader can master to counteract this. Detaching the right parts of our minds when receiving and also giving feedback is so important to maintain all that hard work that had gone into building relations! Receiving feedback correctly is also vital to ensure the team member is able to give feedback in the future and develop themselves professionally!Image: Dylan Gillis on Unsplash
